It happened a few months ago. The Romania Charge D'Affair in Singapore, Dr Ionescu, drove his car recklessly in the middle of the night, killing one pedestrian and injuring 2 others. In court, the witnesses told what they saw that night. If you are the judge, would you believe the stories of the witnesses?
It happened 2 thousand years ago. Jesus was with 15,000 to 20,000 people. It was evening time. They needed food to feed these thousands. Jesus was given 5 loafs of bread and 2 fishes. He broke the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the thousands. Miraculously, the bread and fishes kept multiplying as he handled out the pieces, and there were enough to feed all the thousands, with 12 basketful left. Some witnesses saw the miracle and wrote what happened. Would you believe the stories of these witnesses, as written in the Bible?
I believe these witnesses. What Jesus did, he did in front of so many thousands. The witnesses who wrote about this miracle had no reason to 'collude together' and churn out a false story, which 15,000 can immediately say it was false. (Although the 15,000 were all dead by now.)
If you beleve in the witnesses in the first story which happened a few months ago, you should also believe in the second story although it happened 2 thousand years ago.

Patrick,
I believe the witnesses in the 1st story but I find it hard to believe the witnesses in the 2nd story. Honestly, I failed to see any link in both events.
It is easlier for me to make a judgement in the 1st story because it happened in my time. The evidents presented are so close and real to me while the 2nd story was more than 2000 years ago.
I hope you don't mind my comments. Just sharing my views from a free thinker's perspective.
All comments, written with sincerity, even though different or disagreeing, are most welcomed.
The 2 events are linked by the 'credibility of the witnesses'. I think whether or not we believe, is based on the credibility of the witnesses. I am saying whether it happened during our time, or 2000 years ago, should not make any difference.
